This class is for any kiddo that is ready to read beyond the basic sight words! (And it’s perfect for my students that are finishing up my sight word program! ;) ) This is a reading class, so of course, we will be reading every day! :) Each day we will read a different emergent reader or passage together in class. However, each day, each emergent reader (or passage) will focus on a different skill. I plan to spend the first few weeks of the class learning about CVC words by focusing on the short vowel sounds. We will incorporate word families during this time as well. After, we will move on to the long vowel sounds and different long vowel rules. This will include silent E (CVCe words), vowel teams, & diphthongs. Other rules that will be incorporated in the class include blends, bossy R, the sound of Y comprehension, fluency, & both fiction and non-fiction reads.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
This course is for students who are already reading basic/beginner sentences. Students should know several sight words as well as all their letters by sight and sound prior to enrolling in this class. If your child is not yet reading, but already knows all their letters by sight and sound, please consider enrolling in my sight word #1 class instead of this one.
Supply List
Students should have paper and coloring supplies for each class. It's also ideal for students to have a dry-erase board, dry-erase marker, and eraser for class. (However, if a dry erase board is not available, a piece of paper with a writing utensil will work fine too.)
